I have so much love for this story. So much. It's brilliant and funny and well-written, and probably in my top three favorites for NCIS fics. Thanks so much for writing it, and for deigning to share it. It makes the world a better place. :)

I'm sure I've read this in the past... but I'm glad I found it today! What a perfect, fun little tale to end the day on a high note! :D

Awww, super cute! (And go McGee, lol!)

Absolutely love it!

It just keeps pulling me in! I loved it from thevery begining, the way the two of them came together! I didn't think you could top that, but you did! I'll be happy to see that you've added to it later as well! Great job!

haha love it

Loving all the "I bet (insert character) was pissed."

Great stuff

:)

That was just lovely. Well done!

That was an awesomely Abby party.

I don't know how I missed this fic the first time around, but now I'm glad cause I can read it altogether. I would be one begging for sequels and prequels!

Wonderfully written. Emotional and heartfelt. I love that you let McGee be the smart one this time and not the bumbling foot we often see in fics. Tony has certainly gentled Gibbs. Or should I say tamed?

"Gibbs' frustration builds, coming out as impatience, anger, until Tony is all that stands between him and murdering the next stupid son of a bitch that thinks they can get away with selling drugs and weapons and killing their fellow servicemen." - I find the mental pic of frustrated Gibbs drool-worthy.

"The director has visions of carnage in the bullpen and, not wishing to have to get bloodstains out of the carpet, sends them all home for a week." - Sounds like Jenny Shephard is still director then.

"secretly glad the atmosphere's no longer that of a storm just waiting to break. Right over their heads. With Buy One Lightning Bolt, Get Three Free on special." - Tim's vivid mental pic of a thunder storm made me laugh.

"Gibbs glares at them all as Tony sighs. 'And this is why we didn't tell any of you. Can't we just pretend you didn't work it out?' 'Oh, no, we cannot possibly do that,' Ziva says wickedly. 'After all, you deserve a bachelor party. Both of you. It wouldn't be right for you to miss out on such an important part of your culture.' Normally, Tim hates bachelor parties, but this time he agrees. 'I'm sure Abby can arrange the strippers,' he says. When Tony and Gibbs turn and glare at them, Tim stands firm. 'You got married and you didn't invite us,' he says. Ziva nods. 'And you didn't tell us for four months, two weeks and three days.' - Hehehe.

"There are cupcakes with frosting hearts and other designs (some of them look distinctly rude from a distance, so Gibbs makes a point of not looking too closely, especially when Tony turns bright red and nearly drops the one he's picked up). There's even slices of watermelon, which have clearly been dosed with different sorts of alcohol, because they're grouped around bottles of rum, vodka, tequila. Fortunately, there are also bar snacks and nachos, little pizza squares and enough fries to keep everyone on their feet for the evening." - Yum!

Oh Lord, I squealed. I don't know what's worse: the fact that it happened at all or the fact that my dad was home and looked at me like there was a visit to the psych ward in my future. I loved this fic the first time I read it, and the remix, and now, the re-remix, it I can call it that. It was awesome, and now I'm looking for other good stuff to read. Thanks for the bachelor party and the wedding!

I've always been a huge fan of this story! Thanks for giving me an excuse to re-read it! :D

Great addition, thoroughly enjoyed it

One of my all-time favorites! Thanks for adding prequel and sequel!
